Not to be accused of being soft on gun crime, the police obtained a search warrant and sent officers round to Driscoll's home to investigate. Five vans-worth of police—armed with real guns—apparently without bothering to actually look at the photo. Otherwise, they'd probably have noticed that the mortar in question is just slightly larger than an action figure and roughly as long as the remote control also pictured.

Isn't that special. Swarm swarm swarm ... and what judge signed this warrant? An idiot of course.

Sucks to be English !


Good post !
